Andreas, you are so, like, five minutes ago.
A.A.: Or, so September 10, at least according to William Safire in the fall of
2001.
Also, I heard a statistic that there is a bankruptcy in this country every six
seconds. Bankruptcies now surpass heart attacks per second. Apparently
bankruptcies don't come from $280 jeans and granite countertops but just from
trying to make ends meet. I think when one of two incomes gets sick is when
people typically get in trouble. The pressure to consume can't help.
